Don’t Miss Badflower Live This Summer On The Unity Tour 2025 With 311 –
Running June 20 Through August 30
NASHVILLE, TN (June 20, 2025) – Today, platinum-selling Rock band Badflower – Josh Katz (vocals/guitar), Joey Morrow (lead guitar), Alex Espiritu (bass), and Anthony Sonetti (drums) – return with their most emotionally raw and introspective project to date: No Place Like Home, out now via Big Machine/John Varvatos Records.

Produced by frontman Josh Katz alongside GRAMMY-Award winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains), the band’s third studio album was written entirely sober and shaped in isolation – with nothing to hide behind. The result is a stripped-down, emotionally dense record that reckons with the disorientation of growing up, slowing down, and letting go of the chase. Katz confronts identity loss, creative burnout, and anticipatory grief, reflecting on everything from the pressure of saving lives through music to the heartbreak of losing a pet.
“Home is myself in a memory,” Katz reflects. “Everything now feels foreign. We built our lives on youth and ambition – then one day you wake up 34, post-pandemic, and realize you’re already the ‘something’ you spent years becoming. That shift is what this record sounds like.”
That emotional tension pulses through the tracklist, from the scathing commentary of “Number 1” to the barely-contained fury of “Swinging Hammer.” On “Butterfly,” Katz grapples with the heavy expectations placed on the band by fans who say their music saved lives, while “Don’t Be a Stranger” imagines the guilt of an absent father long before the moment ever arrives. That same imagined grief resurfaces in “Paws,” a delicate, aching tribute to a dog that hasn’t yet passed.
Elsewhere, the hypnotic “Snuff” and fan-favorite “Detroit” bring Badflower’s signature tension into sharper focus. “Detroit” spent 24 weeks on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at No. 2 and breaking into the top 10 on multiple formats. The current single “Paws” is also connecting deeply with fans, climbing steadily with top 25 airplay at Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative Radio.
What makes No Place Like Home different is the headspace it was written in. Katz didn’t rely on chaos this time – just silence and self-confrontation.
“I tried to write like I used to – messy, drunk, chaotic,” he says. “But it wasn’t fun anymore. Writing sober forced me to confront myself in a way I never had.”
That shift shows up not just in the lyrics but in the edges of the production – every sound scraped clean, every emotion left in. It’s a body of work that doesn’t offer solutions, only reflection. And in that reflection, maybe a little comfort.
In addition to releasing their third album, Badflower hits the road this summer on The Unity Tour 2025 with 311, kicking off today in Atlantic City and running through August 30.

ABOUT BADFLOWER: Since their formation in 2011, Badflower has released two EPs, their hit full-length debut Ok, I’m Sick via Big Machine Label Group, and their sophomore record, This Is How The World Ends. With a unique blend of raw rock and introspective storytelling, the band have earned critical acclaim from outlets like Billboard, Alternative Press, and Nylon. Their hit single “Ghost” went Platinum, received “Rock Song of the Year” honors at the iHeartRadio Awards, and has amassed over 700 million streams, all while captivating audiences across the globe, playing major festivals like Kaboo Del Mar and Sonic Temple, and sharing stages with bands such as Incubus, Shinedown, and Ghost.
Four years in the making, No Place Like Home marks a turning point for Badflower — Josh Katz (vocals/guitar), Joey Morrow (lead guitar), Alex Espiritu (bass), and Anthony Sonetti (drums) — as they confront the disillusionment that comes after achieving their lifelong dreams. From the biting commentary of the music industry on “Number 1” to the heartbreaking future regrets of “Don’t Be a Stranger” and “Paws,” the album weaves together themes of mental health, self-doubt, and existential dread with an unflinching honesty that’s become Badflower’s signature. No Place Like Home doesn’t offer easy answers — instead, it invites listeners to sit with their discomfort, to feel seen, and maybe, to feel less alone. With the album’s release, the band shifts gears as they embark on their 2025 Unity Tour alongside 311, from June 20 to August 30.
